Drain Valves

Tank Bottom, Flush Bottom, Inline Valves Strahman drain valves are used on process vessels and reactors and are designed so that they cannot clog. They are ideal for use in liquid and gas service or with slurries, polymers, and high viscosity fluids, which may solidify at room temperature. Drain Valves are available in Disc Type or Plunger Type.

Disc Type

The advantage of disc type valves is a short stroke for open/close operation. Air cylinder operation is usually selected.

The rising and lowering discs’ compact, lightweight design is ideal for installation under a tank where there is limited space. The lowering disc is ideal for tank applications with an agitator.

Plunger Type

Ram valves / piston valves guarantee full flow as the valve disc (ram) travels completely out of the flow path.

These valves are ideal for slurry applications as the inside of the valve is cleaned when the plunger moves to the closed position.
